Need alt bracket help for 460 HD
After buying on eBay and at local junk yards, it appears as if my 1985 F250 HD's 460 uses different alternator brackets than anything I've found so far.
Does anyone have a truck like this they can snap some pictures of? I have a couple brackets, but I don't know if I'm trying to put them on in the right place, as my truck came with no bracket at all...
My truck uses 2 belts for power steering. I've been told this makes a difference...
Thanks!

Ford pullies and brackets will drive you screaming from the garage! Having done that I always go to the junk yard and pull the brackets and pullies from a complete engine. This way I get a matching set that I know will work. You may be able to change the pullie on the PS pump or replace it with a rebuilt single pullie pump?

Tried the junk yard thing. The brackets I got at the junkyard, and the one I got on ebay, don't line up with any bolt holes I could find.
It seems to me that the water pump may have been different for my truck, as it interferes with mounting these brackets...

I just built alt brackets for mine 86 with 2 P/S belts. I took the smog pump of and the smog pump air pump were the same braket. I can snap a picture if Old Tired Rebel will help me post it.

I have to leave for a bit when I get back I will be happy to take pictures and put them in my gallery for you. I have a 86 F250 HD also but mine has California emissions but it's also a non Catalyst too.

My truck doesn't have a smog pump or any emissions controls. I'm Heavy-duty/ non-catalyst *grin*
